A LOOP is used in conjunction with the IF function. IFs within a loop are executed on each line within the loop.

Loop from line number

The first line of the loop.  

Loop to line number

The last line in the loop.

Only increment line if IF true

When looping with a conditional statement (IF) the line count of the page being copied to is only updated if the IF statement is satisfied. This means that lines which do not satisfy the IF are not included on the output, thereby moving the other lines on the page up a line.

Loop Type

This should be “0” if you have specified a “Loop to line number”.  If you wish to loop to the end of the page then this should be a “1” and if looping to the end of the document (used in XML) it should be a “2”.
